Considering a number of attacks on web application these days, one must be pro-active in case of the security. You might already be using Web Application Firewall for your web application security including but not limited to ModSecurity. However, ModSecurity works at the application layer.

That means it is installed with Web Server Software (Apache, Nginx etc). Any malicious packets that travel towards your web application are then blocked by this firewall on the application layer. Packet first arrives on the interface of a server, then it moves to the Linux kernel and eventually, it arrives at the application (here application is a web server). ModSecurity is installed as a module in a web server, which inspects every packet before it is delivered to the web application.

In this post I am going to write prometeus review of their new offers in Milan, Italy. As there are a lot of people recently asking for Italy location. So, their italy vps offers must be shared, because Prometeus is a reputable provider.

The only downside is that 50% off applies to yearly billing. But if you can pay yearly than it is a must catch if you are looking for a vps in italy.

Few words from their about page:

It all started simple enough. We opened our doors in 1997, with a single server used to host websites for some of our clients. Prometeus, and the Internet, have came a long, long way since that day – but one thing remains the same, our dedication to customer satisfaction!

So its their 20 years anniversy and they are celebrating it by giving 50% off (with yearly payment option) in theri new VPS location which is Milan, Italy.
